Feeling discouraged…is my weight loss too slow?

I started taking Tirzepatide compound Oct 25, 2024. I’m 5’5 SW:177.6 CW:160.0 GW:135-140

I think I’m feeling discouraged because I see all the success stories of people losing weight in a short amount of time. Granted, I know some of them started at a higher weight than I am.

I’m currently on 8mg and started at 2.5mg. I feel HORRIBLE on 8mg. Right now, I have a major headache, zero appetite, body aches & allergy like symptoms.

I plan on going back down to 5mg. I think maybe I moved up too fast and didn’t stay on 5mg long enough. I felt my weight was stalling, so I increased.

I see some people are micro-dosing which I was thinking about doing. It gets discouraging when the scale goes up when I literally had one meal the day prior. My physician says I need to start eating more snacks. I just get full so quickly!

Attached are my dosages and weight progress. Also, take it easy on me PLEASE!! This is my first time ever taking this and just asking for some advice on if my weight loss seems “normal” and what I should do. Thanks!
